  • We mapped this ourselves. This alignment was done by Learn.WitUS against the published standards. It has not been reviewed, endorsed, or approved by New Hampshire's education authority or by anyone else.
  • Every code was fetched, then transcribed word for word. Each framework below shows the date its codes and text were retrieved from the publisher.
  • Standards get revised.A code can be renumbered or its wording changed without notice, and some states publish more than one live edition of the same document. Confirm anything you file against your own jurisdiction's current requirements, using the source links below.
  • We would rather claim less. Where the courses only partly cover a standard, this page says partially covered and explains the gap. Standards we considered and could not honestly claim are listed at the bottom, with the reasons.

K-12 Social Studies New Hampshire Curriculum Framework — Grades 9-12 Civics and Governments (SS:CV)

K-12 Social Studies New Hampshire Curriculum Framework, June 2006 · Grades 9-12 Civics and Governments (SS:CV) · New Hampshire Department of Education (NH DOE) / State Board of Education · retrieved 2026-07-19

New Hampshire's Grades 9-12 Civics and Governments strand is the anchor for the New Hampshire Civics flagship. Two of its indicators name New Hampshire's own government explicitly — SS:CV:12:2.1 (the fundamental ideals incorporated in the United States Constitution AND the New Hampshire Constitution) and SS:CV:12:2.3 (the roles of the United States AND New Hampshire judicial systems, with the New Hampshire Supreme Court's advisory-opinion function as the document's own example) — so, unlike the purely-federal states, New Hampshire's own structure (the 400-member citizen House, the elected Executive Council, the appointed-to-70 judiciary, the town meeting) has a genuine home, mapped here. The federal-ladder indicators carry the general civics claims, and the Rights and Responsibilities strand (SS:CV:12:4) hosts the flagship's participation lessons. Transcribed verbatim from the 2006 NH DOE Framework (see the file header for the provenance note).

  • SS:CV:12:4.1

    Covered
    Demonstrate responsible practices within the political process, e.g., registering to vote or taking civic action.

    Covered by

    • · Voting & Elections 101, Lesson 1 · Registering to vote
    • · Citizenship & Naturalization Basics, Lesson 7 · Rights and responsibilities of citizenship
    • · How a Bill Becomes Law, Lesson 8 · Tracking a bill and making your voice heard
    • · US, State & Local Government, Lesson 8 · Where to show up and be heard, at every level
    • · New Hampshire Civics, Lesson 4 · How a bill becomes law, and the first-in-the-nation primary
    • · New Hampshire Civics, Lesson 5 · Town meeting, local government, and how to take part

    Note: The standard's own examples are taught as practice: registering to vote (including New Hampshire's Election-Day registration) and taking civic action — tracking a live bill, showing up at every level, and New Hampshire's own on-ramps, from the first-in-the-nation primary to speaking at town meeting.

  • SS:CV:12:1.2

    Partially covered
    Examine how institutions and individuals make, apply, and enforce rules and laws, e.g., the Federal Communications Commission regulations on television broadcast standards or local public hearings on zoning regulations.

    Covered by

    • · How a Bill Becomes Law (Federal) · the whole course, introduction to public law
    • · US Civics 101, Lesson 3 · How a bill becomes a law
    • · New Hampshire Civics, Lesson 4 · How a bill becomes law, and the first-in-the-nation primary
    • · US, State & Local Government, Lesson 8 · Where to show up and be heard, at every level

    What we do and don't cover: Partial: how rules and laws are MADE is taught in depth — the full federal lawmaking process and how a bill becomes a New Hampshire law in the General Court — and showing up at local hearings is taught as practice. The 'apply and enforce' regulatory-agency half (the FCC-style rulemaking the standard names) is not the course's focus.

  • SS:CV:12:4.2

    Partially covered
    Investigate how knowledgeable and engaged citizens have acted to preserve and extend their liberties, e.g., writing letters to the editor or participating in town meetings.

    Covered by

    • · New Hampshire Civics, Lesson 5 · Town meeting, local government, and how to take part
    • · US, State & Local Government, Lesson 8 · Where to show up and be heard, at every level
    • · How a Bill Becomes Law, Lesson 8 · Tracking a bill and making your voice heard

    What we do and don't cover: Partial: acting to preserve and extend liberty is taught as practice — participating in town meetings (the standard's own New Hampshire example), showing up at every level, and tracking a live bill. The historical 'investigate how citizens have acted' research task is set up rather than run as a graded assignment.

What we don't claim

A standards page is only worth reading if the omissions are honest too. We looked at these and left them out:

  • Mathematics — nothing. This catalog does no mathematics instruction, so it meets no New Hampshire College and Career Ready (Common Core) mathematics standard.
  • Science — one partial claim, via the shared NGSS file. New Hampshire adopted the NGSS in November 2016 as its science standards, so our one honest science claim — HS-ESS3-1, partial — comes through the shared NGSS mapping with the limit stated on the entry. There is no laboratory work, investigation, or modelling in this catalog, and we will not claim more.
  • New Hampshire's own state structure is taught more fully than any one 2006 indicator captures. New Hampshire Civics teaches the Constitution of 1784 and 'Live Free or Die,' the 400-member House of Representatives (roughly one representative per 3,300 residents, legislators paid $100 a year — a citizen legislature), the elected five-member Executive Council that shares executive power with a 2-year Governor who has no Lieutenant Governor, the appointed-to-70 judiciary confirmed by that Council, the first-in-the-nation presidential primary, the absence of any statewide citizen initiative, and the town meeting — all from New Hampshire's own sources. SS:CV:12:2.1 (the New Hampshire Constitution), SS:CV:12:2.3 (the New Hampshire judiciary), and SS:CV:12:1.1 (structures at various levels) host most of it, but the 2006 Civics indicators are deliberately example-based concept statements, not a New Hampshire-government checklist, so the Executive Council, the 400-member House, and the first-in-the-nation primary have no code of their own.
  • The Civics indicators on world affairs and foreign policy. The entire third Civics standard — SS:CV:12:3.1 (the United States' response to environmental, economic, and technological issues in world affairs), SS:CV:12:3.2 (the relationship between domestic and foreign policy), and SS:CV:12:3.3 (the impact of the United States' contributions to democratic ideals on world affairs) — is about the United States in the world. The catalog's civics is domestic structure and participation, so we do not claim these.
  • The Geography strand — checked, thin overlap, not claimed. The Grades 9-12 Geography strand (SS:GE:12) is human-environment and spatial geography. The catalog's growing-belts and resource-map content is geographic, but its overlap with the Geography indicators is adjacency-level at best, so we do not stretch it into a claim; where that content maps squarely — how trade and commodity distribution shape economies — it is claimed under the World History and Economics strands instead.
  • The US/NH History, World History, and Economics indicators we checked and rejected. Across the three history/economics strands, the indicators the courses do not genuinely teach are not claimed: in US/NH History, SS:HI:12:1.2 and 1.4 (religion in political life; sectionalism), all of SS:HI:12:2 (foreign policy and international relations), SS:HI:12:3.1/3.3/3.4 (intellectual movements, group influences on the arts, the spread of American culture), SS:HI:12:4.1/4.3 (westward movement; technology simplifying/complicating work), and SS:HI:12:5.1-5.4 (unity vs. pluralism, gender roles, attitudes toward diversity, social class); in World History, SS:WH:12:1.1-1.3/1.5, all of SS:WH:12:2.2/2.4 and 3, SS:WH:12:4.4/4.5, and all of SS:WH:12:5; and in Economics, the market-mechanics (SS:EC:12:1, 2.1/2.2/2.4/2.5), business-cycle (SS:EC:12:3), monetary/fiscal (SS:EC:12:4), comparative-advantage and currency (SS:EC:12:5.1/5.2), and personal-finance (SS:EC:12:6) standards. Where the catalog's globalization content could touch two near-duplicate indicators, it is claimed once under the closest fit rather than padded.
  • The AI-literacy ladder, the language courses, and Learning How to Learn — deferred, not denied. New Hampshire's closest frameworks for these (its digital-literacy/computer-science and world-languages standards) have not been fetched and verified yet. Our rule is fetch-or-don't-cite, so these courses carry no New Hampshire claims this pass.
